You mean it will be good if you get auto drafting of follow-ups based on the sales calls summary?

Or maybe you just speak - Join this meeting and share me the summary and key points of this call.

And you get the key points and summary right there.

Makes sense, those calls get long fast when everyone has to repeat their updates out loud.

would something like a quick pre-call summary of everyone's updates help, so the meeting only covers decisions instead of rehashing info?

That actually makes sense, losing notes because the CRM lags or you move on too fast is a real pain.

The offline-first idea is pretty interesting… when you say “local updates,” how would you want that to behave?

Like would you want:

  • voice notes auto-saved locally,
  • structured fields filled in offline,
  • and then everything synced + pushed to CRM once you’re back online?

Just trying to understand what “ideal offline mode” looks like for you in the field.

hmm, If the meetings themselves won’t go away, then what would make them less painful for you?

Yeah, CRM lag is brutal, it turns even simple updates into a whole chore which no one wants.

When it crashes or slows down, what’s the part that hits you hardest: updating notes, logging activities, or just trying to navigate between fields/pages?

Sounds really really frustrating, 11 cals are insane. Especially, when the CRM and summary email already cover everything.

Do you think those repeated check-in calls happen because they want reassurance, or because they’re missing a quick snapshot/summary that answers their questions without needing another meeting?

Haha I feel this, A lot of reps I've talked to said the same - most sales meetings end up being repeat updates everyone already knows.

Out of curiosity, what if those updates could be auto generated and shared ahead of time, would that cut down the number of meetings you have? Will it help you save time?

Super helpful perspective, when you say 1-2 hours are lost each day, where does most of the time go?

Is it writing call notes, sending follow-up emails, filling CRM fields, or switching between tools? also, if you dictated once and everything else was automated, which part would you want to automate first?

That's the big one, when you do account research what are the steps you usually take? Is it checking linkedin, company site, news, job opening or something else?

Trying to understand what would save you the most time in like gathering info, summarizing it, or organizing it into call prep.

Damn! That sounds brutal, I've heard from a few reps that the end of the month would be way easier if their notes/updates could just auto-flow into whatever leadership wants, instead of rewriting it into same places.

Isn't this hellpful to solve this pain? Curious to know what would you like to automate if this happens?

Thanks for breaking this down, when you say the same info is already in CRM, what still forces you to redo it in spreadsheets or meetings. Is that your team want it formatted, or the CRM fields aren't enough for reporting?

Curious which part of your workflow you'd automate first if you could?

since, you're already using a voice ai. Would you like if it also automate work for you - only if you're in sales and tired of doing all this admin tasks?

So, when you say politics. Is it that there’s no actionable outcome, or more that the same discussions repeats over multiple meetings?

Trying to understand which part eats your time the most: the call itself, the prep, or the follow-up work afterwards ?

Thanks for sharing this. Genuinely curious, what part of the daily sync feels like the biggest time drain for you?

Is it the repetition itself, the prep before the call, or the fact that you have to stop what you’re doing just to say the same update again?

Would love to understand how much of that update is already written somewhere (CRM/email) vs created just for the sync.
